La cuarta espada es una rigurosa investigación periodÃstica sobre Sendero Luminoso y su lÃder, Abimael Guzmán.
Casi 70.000 muertos produjo la guerra entre el movimiento terrorista Sendero Luminoso y el Estado peruano entre los años ochenta y noventa. Responsable de más de la mitad de las vÃctimas, Sendero fue el grupo subversivo más letal en la historia del continente americano. Abimael Guzmán, el hombre que condujo toda esa violencia y se considera a sà mismo como la «cuarta espada del comunismo internacional tras Lenin, Stalin y Mao, no llevaba armas. No tenÃa poyo de Gobiernos extranjeros. Ni siquiera estaba presente en el campo de batalla. Detrás de un escritorio, armado con una rigurosa ideologÃa, puso en jaque a todo un paÃs durante doce años. Su historia constituye un escalofriante ejemplo del poder destructor de las ideas. Cómo se convirtió Guzmán en un objeto de culto capaz de inspirar entre los suyos misiones kamikazes? Quiénes eran sus soldados? Cómo eran el amor y el odio entre ellos? La cuarta espada es la primera descripción de las relaciones humanas en el interior de una cúpula terrorista Sendero Luminoso con información proporcionada por sus protagonistas. Pero más allá del documento periodÃstico, este libro se lee como una novela en la tradición de A sangre frÃa, una inmersión en la mente del asesino, un retrato del Mal.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Fourth Sword is a rigorous journalistic investigation about the Shining Path terrorist group in Peru and its leader Abimael Guzman. Almost 70,000 deaths were caused by the civil war between the Shining Path terrorist movement and the Peruvian government during the eighties and nineties. Responsible for more than half of the victims, Shining Path was the most deadly and dangerous subversive group ever in the history of Latin America. Abimael Guzman, the man who led such violence and considers himself to be the fourth sword of international communism after Lenin, Stalin, and Mao, was not armed. He had no support from foreign governments, and he did not even set foot on the battlefield. Sitting behind a desk and armed with a rigorous ideology, he brought turmoil to the entire country for twelve years. His story depicts a chilling example of the destructive power of ideology. How did Guzman become such a cult leader capable of encouraging kamikaze missions among his followers? Who were his soldiers? How was the love-hate relationship between them? The Fourth Sword is the first-hand account of personal relationships inside a Shining Path terrorist group with information and accounts provided to the author by its protagonists. This work goes much further than a journalistic investigation, it reads like a a novel; it is an immersion into the mind of a murderer.
